Oh dear.
An other group of disgruntled MS developers that invested blood, tears, wife and kids on a strategic fiasco.
Think of it this way. MS is learning and are beginning to make real tough decisions.
Silverlight as a technology is not so bad. But it is and will always be a MS proprietary technology.
However you can still use most of your skills with WPF. So it is not all that bad after all.
Now ASP.NET user controls. That was a big f"#% disaster that took ten years to correct.
Finally someone came up with Razor. Cutting all the way back to the good old ASP regards to client server design and dev. workflow.
And ASP.NET is suddenly not so horrible anymore.
Cheer up Silverlighters and learn some good old HTML, AJAX, WebKit, the Canvas tag, SVG, and perhaps some WebGL.
Submission + - Development woes on a Saturday evening (nokia.com)
Sla$hPot writes: Just took a deep look at Android development today.
Thought it would be a good idea to catch up on the latest mobile platform development.
After spending three to four hours going through the documentation feeling ready to spend the rest of the evening doing the tutorial section.
SDK installed, Eclipse (Indigo) has been updated with the latest Android plugin. Ready to go.
First the notorious HelloWorld.
Dead easy. Just three lines of code.
Then hit run.. and wait some, while the emulator starts.
And then wait some more...15 minutes later a few popups appear asking if you want to wait for the process or close it. Chose wait and wait some more.
The Android screen finally show..But no hello message.
WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!
Im sure this means that i should have to have an Android device (instead of my iPhone) to debug through the USB port.
So, I can't spend anymore time on this crap...Where is the iPhone plugin for Eclipse?
Doesn't exist :(
What about Windows Phone 7 then?
Are there any Windows Phone 7 out there?
Why make things so f#% difficult.
If it so hard to make an emulator that performs decently on most systems, why not just make a web enabled emulator (in Eclipse) that just works and performs all the time.
Perhaps one should try out Qt instead.
It does look very impressive, but what are the chances that it will run on any mobile platform anytime soon if ever? /Moan
